The FASTRAK Racing Series is pleased to welcome Longhorn Chassis as an associate sponsor for the 2011 racing season. Founded by NASCAR champions Bobby and Terry Labonte, the dirt late model chassis manufacturer is based in Trinity, North Carolina. Established in 2010, Longhorn already has a Dirt Track World Championship to its credit thanks to last year’s victory at West Virginia Motor Speedway with driver Earl Pearson Jr.

“We are excited to partner with Longhorn”, stated Director of Operations Jason Atkins. “Justin and the entire staff have been a pleasure to work with. Their product is gaining tremendous brand recognition and we look forward to working with them to grow their market share”.

“The FASTRAK Racing Series is one of the fastest growing dirt late model series in the country,” commented Justin Labonte, co-owner of Longhorn Chassis. “It only makes sense to attach the Longhorn Chassis brand to their growing driver and fan base. I’m a proud racer of the Longhorn Chassis and have seen its proven benefits first hand. I hope to continue to develop the brand with the series, my fellow competitors and fans for years to come.”

With both Labontes being so heavily involved with racing their entire lives, they know what it takes and both strive for the same thing; a strong, fast, winning race car. After numerous successful seasons as a Dirt Late Model team owner, to drivers Earl Pearson Jr and Brad Neat, Bobby Labonte decided to take it one step further with his racing operations and the team started building their own race cars, in shop. The first two late model chassis built out of the Longhorn stable went to Earl Pearson Jr. and the house car, driven by Justin Labonte. Pearson would debut his Longhorn Chassis at the North/South 100 in Florence, KY where he finished a solid second. Later on, Pearson would record Longhorn Chassis' 1st victory at the 2010 Dirt Track World Championships at West Virginia Motor Speedway.

With just one partial racing season under their belts and a handful of wins, Longhorn Chassis has already proven its strength and ability on the race track. Longhorn‘s 25,000 square foot shop is equipped with two jigs, a fabrications shop and a 5,000 square foot parts warehouse with a full stock of inventory. Along with chassis building, Longhorn Chassis will also focus on all of your fabricating and repair needs.
